Sales in the GAMING BUSINESS were stable year-on-year at €27.4 million.
Catalogue sales (new games) rose by 4.5% to €15.6 million. Despite the weak performance of The Lord of the Rings GollumTM, sales of Tour de France and TT Isle of Man Ride on Edge 3 were 20% and 10% higher respectively than those of their previous versions, while the performance of Ravenswatch, available in early access since April 2023, was exceptional.
Back catalogue sales (games released in previous years) fell 6.8% to €11.8 million, affected by their high base for comparison after months of strong growth.
ACCESSORIES: The upturn in the sales trend, which began at the end of the last financial year, will be confirmed in September because pre-orders of new controllers and headsets are excellent.
Outlook for 2023/24
As previously announced, 2023/24 will be a busy year in terms of new releases, with around 20 games due to come out during the period.
Two new games will be released in the second quarter: Overpass2 and AD Infinitum.
The release schedule in the third quarter will be packed, including Robocop: Rogue City, Gangs of Sherwood, Cricket24 and Astérix & Obelix: Heroes.
Despite a high base for comparison, back catalogue sales will continue to rise due to the addition of games released in 2022/23, and growth should resume in the second quarter.
Finally, the Accessories business should start to recover from the third quarter due to growth in the installed base of new consoles and the release of several very promising new products.
As a result, NACON remains confident that it will achieve strong growth in sales and operating income in the 2023/24 financial year.
